Searching for a good CMS that I could use for small 10-15 page sites with multiple contributors. The CMS I'm using for about 50 clients is starting to get dated!

- Souvik Das GuptaCo-founder, Miranj · WrittenWe’ve done a bunch of projects using Craft CMS for non-profits from large content websites https://indiabioscience.org to single pagers like http://biglittlebookaward.in. The beauty of Craft CMS is that it does not come with any content / page structure assumptions, and you can hand craft each page or section, while providing a clean & simple admin interface to manage the content. Craft has a license fee, but the they offer help if the project finds it hard to fund it. Just write to them.
